    Your disrespect aside, I suggest you wash the sand out of you vagina and realize why the people here might be all "meh" when it comes to the topic of Vanson.


    FYI, my racing funds have been allocated toward a house and a family. If you'd like to supply a bike, I will gladly run circles around you with it.....and trust me, I can and will, even after 3 years off.

    Who else does that?
    I am not defending them and I'm just saying let's be a bit more thankful for the effort and money they put in our series. We should be welcoming that shit not criticize it.

    I would love to see 1/3 of what Vanson did from helmet sponsors. I would to love to have a $300 *instert helmet company here for them.

    Or even a $50 certificate for gas or even the track restaurant.

    Shit man you don't like them? Don't use them. But they are TRYING to HELP our series.
    They are trying to help their business...

    You are talking shit based out of imagination. They are giving money in your series. Can you argue that? NO
    They are very generous with the amount the are giving to the series. Can you argue that? NO.
    Do we need more companies that do that. Yes. Can you argue that? NO.
    Did you see me say I am buying anything from the or how awesome their products are? NO

    You have no argument. You said they are trying to help their business. That's what sponsoring a series/athlete has as a main goal. There is no debate. There is no in depth discussion. It's cut and clear.

    If you don't care who supports the series you are competing in you are either really rich or a bad athlete. And I want to believe you are neither one of those.

    If everyone doesn't care as you say what's the point of any company to sponsor our series. If nobody cares about our series then why nhms hosted. Do you see where this is heading..?

    I will be taking advantage of series sponsors and contingency. Vanson "series sponsorship" means jack shit to me.

    Dude...they aren't throwing money into the series. They are providing Doucette with his 21st Vanson suit and the ROTY with one that doesn't fit. Sounds real useful.

    I didn't hear Todd from Heroic throwing money at racers during the banquet.

    I appreciate those moves by those who support the series. Because I care about the series and the sport and that's how we are going to keep it alive.

    Are you asking me to sponsor you?

    I'd say all the same things to your face. Go educate myself, please. Go unicorn yourself and your excuses for why you can't while you tell others how to.

    Yes you are an individual who doesn't care. What if a bunch of people start not caring about the contingencies you care about and they are taken away then? Don't be so selfish. Look at the biggest picture.

    I am not telling to go buy or advertise Vanson. But staying Vanson sucks for throwing money at lrrs is silly don't you think?

    That's because Todd has bigger fish to fry.

    Bergs...I'll give you a bike. This could be interesting.

    I'm not saying they suck because they threw money at LRRS. Am I saying I'm not going to make a big deal out of the fact that they threw money at LRRS? Yep.

    It's great that Vanson is supporting us by essentially offering a discount to champions. It's not going to cost them much since a significant balance still has to be payed to buy a suit using the certificate. Also, I'm sure not all recipients will use their certificate before expiration.

    There is no point to explain this any more. I hope at least 1 person got it.
    For the rest I have tried and failed.
    You guys have a great rest of your evening and hope to see y'all healthy and smiling at the grids or stands next year.

    I do. Totally. All I am saying to anybody with certs (or anybody) that plans on getting some custom stuff from them is: have a backup plan.
    If you wanna walk in and get a suit off the rack this is a non issue.
